Please do not respond to any email that requests you to confirm your account credentials, or to provide confidential information like credit card numbers, passwords or other personal data.
It is particularly important to never send your password to anyone by email or to use your Ryerson password to log into a non-Ryerson system. Make sure the URL in your browser’s location field is my.ryerson.ca, mail.ryerson.ca or some other name that ends with .ryerson.ca before entering using your Ryerson password.
A recent phishing email was sent to the Ryerson community; it was sent from a non-Ryerson email address requesting you to confirm your mail identity by clicking on a URL link.
If you receive an email like this one with a subject line that reads “*Webmail Technical Crew*”, please do not respond and delete it from your mailbox immediately.
